Rectifier Efficiency
Input current & voltage method
Formula used:
NOTE: According to Peabody, this method will not be strictly accurate, but will give a reasonable approximation.
Watthourmeter method
Formula used:
Where
r = secs/revolution
k = meter constant
The same method should always be used for subsequent efficiency measurements in order to detect any deterioration of rectifier efficiency.
